Any relactators?

Are there any mama's relactating out there? I would love to here your stories or just how it's going. I have been relactating for about 3 and half months and it's going okay. I taking domperidone and it works for me really well only thing was that I was hoping to wean off the med but my milk almost dried up so I had to start taking it again. Although everything I have read on the Newman site said some moms have to take it until they wean. So anyway tell me your stories if there are any others out there. I have been feeling kind of alone in my relactating quest lately.

Soooo how did you go about relactating and making so much. Right now I make about 10 oz a day. Did you just pump? Any info you have would be great! Thanks!

I pumped and took dom.,fenugreek, blessed thistle and nursing mom teas from tradtional medicinals and yogiteas. My favorite was the yogiteas it tastes better. Lexi never would latch on again so i just pumped. I found it easier to pump at the computer while i checked my mail and stuff, before i knew it 30min was gone in no time. Sometimes i would pump for longer just not paying attention the time.

Another thing that helped was after i pumped i would hand express and could always get more out that way.

I bumped up my Update! from when i was doing it. feel free to check my other posts on here.
